About
Jiaxing Yang is a Multimedia Artist and 3D Animator based in Atlanta, GA. He graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science degree and now he is pursuing Animation M.F.A degree at Savannah College of Art and Design.
Since his childhood years spent filling his sketchbook with hundreds of sketches, he has always been an artist. He entered and won art contests, had his first televised art exhibition as a teenager, and eventually, this passion led him to pursue an intensive study in the animation industry. There is no doubt in his mind that animation and sketching should play a key role in his future career.
To learn the process of 3D animation, he has spent his time in the university lab modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating, while gaining an understanding of how to work efficiently. As he pursues a career in the animation industry, he aims to strike a balance between producing creative, high-quality content and working in a way that is most efficient.
​
His goal is to contribute to a team by offering relevant experience, a deep understanding of the content, an eagerness to collaborate, and an unyielding passion for the animation industry.
